Getty Images for HBO “Hacks” tackles A.I. in Season 5, and star Hannah Einbinder isn’t holding back. During a recent press conference discussing the show’s final season, Einbinder and Jean Smart shared their take on the impact of artificial intelligence on entertainment and the culture — as did series creators Paul W. Downs, Lucia Aniello and Jen Statsky.
But it was Einbinder who humorously didn’t hold back: “The people who make this stuff are losers. They’re not artists. They’re not creative,” she said at the “Hacks” press conference last month at the London hotel in West Hollywood. “And they’ve wanted their whole lives to be special. And they’re not special. So, they’re trying to rob real creative people of our gifts. And you can’t. And even if you try, you will never be cool. You guys suck. No one likes you. Anyone who’s near you is because they crave power and access over any ethical standard. You are a loser. You will never be cool. And you probably had a rolly backpack in high school. I wanna put your head in the toilet and flush.”
